2NE1 ain't gonna "Go Away"

The comeback queens 2NE1, have just released the second MV from their sophomore effort To Anyone. The MV for “Go Away” which is one of the three title tracks from the album was dropped today through 2NE1’s YouTube channeland now we know where CL‘s racing pics came from. Check out the video which I am positive will be the center of quite a bit conversation due to some controversial scenes in the MV.

So CL’s cheating race driver boyfriend dumps her, she wallows in heartbreak goes to his place sees him with his new chick and gets slapped around, then she doesn’t only lose the race in the end, but she blows up? The MV is kind of contradictory to me from what I thought the song was about so I searched up the English translations to better understand the MV and song.

Go Away

[CL] You’re so cheap and this isn’t like you
I can’t get used to it now, It makes me dizzy, why
Who’s breaking up with who
You’re breaking up with me
Think it over before you say it, yeah

[Minzy] A guy that used to follow me around, a very decent guy
I let everything go for you alone
Who’s breaking up with who
You’re breaking up with me
Try living without me, yeah

[CL] Tonight of all times, why is it raining again
It makes me look so pitiful
[Minzy] Don’t try to console me
Move this hand, we’re strangers now

[Dara] I’ll meet someone so much better
I’ll make you regret it all
Sadness is only for now, boy
Cause love is over
Love, love is over tonight

[CL] Just say what you gotta say
How can you be uncool to the very end?
Fiancé? Beyonce
I’m walkin’ out of destiny
Not pitifully alone, but a glamorous solo
That’s my way
I gave it my all, so I don’t have regrets

Pretending like you’re more sad
Pretending you’re cool to the end
All you do is act a fool
You ain’t shi.t without your crew
I don’t have time, I gotta go
So long, good bye, adios
I don’t want to see your ugly face again no more

[Minzy] Tonight of all times, why is it raining again
It makes me look so pitiful
[Dara] Don’t try to console me
Move this hand, we’re strangers now

Okay, so the song is exactly what I thought it was, so what is up with the MV? Needy, pathetic CL who lets herself get slapped around and then loses everything? That doesn’t match the lyrics at all to me unless it was the dude singing the song. Maybe I’m taking the MV too literally, but wouldn’t most people think the same thing? I have seen some comments from viewers saying that it was the old CL getting blown up and the new stronger CL is leaving with her girls at the end, but I didn’t get that vibe at all. The CL that I expected to see would have kicked her old cheating boyfriend’s @$$ when HE came drunk to her place and tried to hit her and then she would have decimated him in the race, not get blown up. I love the girls, am okay with the song, and hate the MV. The MV didn’t enhance the song for me which is what I believe an MV should do. I think that the “Clap Your Hands” MV was a better video because it did make me like the song more than I did previously.
